    Corinthian Gardens is a subsidiary of the non profit Friends of Eastern State Penitentiary https://www.fespp.org and is an all volunteer run public garden, featuring “urban orchards”, including pecans, apricots, raspberries, blackberries, beach, plums, strawberries, gooseberries, currants.

    For corporate or team workdays we organize a delivery of wood chips, mulch, or mushroom soil with a tax deductible contribution of $25/person for a group minimum donation of $375 up to a maximum of 25 people. Your specific workday will be led by our gardeners on a weekday/end of your choosing between 9AM and 5 PM for a 2 hour block of time.

    While there are no bathroom facilities on site, there are coffee shops around the corner. We have picnic tables and you are welcome to bring brown bag lunches or have a nearby restaurant deliver food.

    Please note we need a 2 week notice between donation and work day selected to secure the materials order. Please email corinthiangardens19130@gmail.com to schedule a workday.
